Speeed’s take
The SLR that beat Leica at their own market. Most people happily traded a slightly worse image for seeing exactly what the lens saw, and that trade decided the next forty years of cameras.
“Leica did release the Leicaflex in 1964, five years after Nikon had released their highly successful Nikon F — and by then the competition had made big strides in SLR technology.”
